“Pluck Insights represents a significant extension to the Pluck customer interaction platform,” said Jason Crickmer, VP, Technology & Services at Pluck. “Its design and capabilities were driven by the requirements of some of the world’s most advanced retailers, publishers and brands. And it is uniquely tuned to highlight value across feedback, assistance, contribution and representation scenarios.”

The Pluck platform has always offered basic reporting, available visually, through downloadable files, and via specific API requests. However, Pluck Insights represents a significant leap forward. With Pluck Insights, executives will have new tools to answer questions such as:

What is the impact of page placement, visual layout, attributes and other aspects of reviews on conversion rates and average order sizes?

Which buyers in my organization and which suppliers and manufacturers are responsible for the highest rated products?

What tagged keywords are associated with the highest and lowest rated products?

Why do certain customer cohorts tend to participate more? How can we motivate others to participate in high-impact ways?

Are there certain acquisition sources (e.g. social media, search) that lead to higher value interactions?

What devices and pathways are my customers using to produce and consume content?

In particular, Pluck Insights will help major retailers and brands understand and navigate an increasingly omnichannel world, where customer interactions occur across a variety of channels (websites, social networks, stores, contact centers), in concert with ecommerce platforms (IBM WebSphere Commerce, Oracle ATG, Demandware Commerce, hybris Commerce Suite) using devices (laptops, smartphone, tablets) of the customer’s choosing. Pluck Insights will address this complexity with a mix of configurable reports with filtering capabilities that mirror the many dimensions of retail.
